I applied through an employee referral. The process took 2 days. I interviewed at Illumina in Sep 2011
Interview
I interviewed first with a team lead, then with his manager. We discussed the job requirements, advancement potential, departmental structure, training process, and the benefits. Both gentlemen were well-spoken and straight-forward. I appreciated that they did not ask me goofy questions like "If you were a flavor of yogurt, what flavor would you be?", since this kind of innane question totally turns me off.
